Donna Marie Smith

Donna Marie Smith, age 75, passed away on March 9, 2026. Born on September 9, 1950 in Hoboken, New Jersey, Donna lived a life defined by devotion to family, compassion for others, and quiet strength.

Donna was a loving mother to her three children Bruce, Tara, and Sara, who were the center of her world. Following the passing of her own mother, she stepped up selflessly to help raise her younger siblings, Tracy, Terry, and Corey – an early reflection of the caring and nurturing spirit that would guide her throughout her life.

After relocating from Pennsylvania to Florida, Donna built a career rooted in service. She worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant, a role she truly loved because it allowed her to care for others in meaningful ways. She later explored work in the construction field before ultimately returning to her calling as a CAN, where her kindness and dedication left a lasting impression on those she cared for.

Donna found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved crocheting, working on puzzle books, taking peaceful walks through her neighborhood, and watching her favorite television dramas. All above, she cherished her time with family – especially her grandchildren, Zachary, Nicholas, Justin, Samuel, Seth and her beloved granddaughter Naomi. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Braxton and Ashton, who brought her immense happiness.

Donna will be remembered for her generous heart, her resilience, and her unwavering love for her family. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the family she held so dear.
